Essie had taken her kids to the countryside to spend a few days of the summer near Tim. They loved it and always looked forward to this annual activity.

But behind the idyllic background, a ghost roams the land-something called a "rolling calf," an unnerving, clanking ghost with red eyes. It has a spooky premise, but feels more like The Hardy Boys than Harry Potter. Even while Karl knows he must face an unknown and possibly dangerous adversary, he is surrounded by a family that cares for him. This is a world where kids go five miles to the perfect place to swim or girls spend the day jumping rope. When the adventure does get going, the characters never lose the camaraderie of friends, the touchstone of solid parents, or the importance of a lesson learned. Katerie Prior EXCERPT: When it dawned on Karl that his pursuer was a rolling calf, he forgot about his damaged toe. He was now going top speed, Usain Bolt style. He was all-out straight sprinting. He shifted into sixth gear and took off blazing the trail for his dear life. Neither Usain Bolt nor his supposing "twice as fast" twin brother, Insain Bolt nor any other athlete or track and field star could have kept up with Karl that night. He was sure that he must be breaking some kind of world record. (Page 52, A Scary Island-Style Story)

Súbitamente, los árboles y arbustos se abrieron y la bestia corrió enloquecida hacia Karl, mientras enormes lenguas de fuego le salían de la boca. La bestia se dirigía a un choque, cuando Karl levantó la mano y dijo: -¡Quieta, bestia! Ya es suficiente. -No estuvo mal, ¿verdad? -preguntó Rollie-Rollie, con las patas resbalando en el suelo mientras frenaba. -No, no estuvo nada mal. La mejor gran entrada del mundo.

He was about three blocks away from home when he started getting a strange feeling. He felt like his head was rapidly swelling. A chill blanketed his body. Karl's heart skipped a beat. He was completely terrified. His feet felt weak and his knees were shaking like a massaging chair. He knew what was happening, but this time he promised himself that he would not run.

"A raw, funny, surprisingly tender novel about belonging, class, and what makes a life a success. I loved the central brother/sister relationship and how the book confronted masculinity and the disparity between womanhood and the male experience. I grew so fond of the protagonist, and devoured the book in a day." Dolly Alderton. "What I did to them was terrible, but you have to understand the context. This was London, 2016.."Bohemia is history. Paul has awoken to the fact that he will always be better known for reviewing haircuts than for his literary journalism. He is about to be kicked out of his cheap flat in east London and his sister has gone missing after an argument about what to do with the house where they grew up. Now that their mother is dead this is the last link they have to the declining town on the north-west coast where they grew up.Enter Emily Nardini, a cult author, who – after granting Paul a rare interview – receives him into her surprisingly grand home. Paul is immediately intrigued: by Emily and her fictions, by her vexingly famous and successful partner Andrew (too old for her by half), and later by Andrew’s daughter Sophie, a journalist whose sexed-up vision of the revolution has gone viral. Increasingly obsessed, relationships under strain, Paul travels up and down, north and south, torn between the town he thought he had escaped and the city that threatens to chew him up.With heart, bite and humour, Luke Brown leads the reader beyond easy partisanship and into much trickier terrain. Straddling the fissures within a man and his country, riven by envy, wealth, ownership, entitlement, and loss, Theft is an exhilarating howl of a novel.Perfect for fans of Jonathan Cole's "Middle England", Zadie Smith's "NW" and Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity."‘It's a rare thrill to find a writer with Luke Brown's gift for nimbly navigating the maze of gentrification, Brexit, and the gig economy with dark, effervescent hilarity. Theft is a funhouse mirror held up to the grim absurdity of our political moment, a quick-witted tale of generational crisis, and an incredibly poignant and funny take on what happens after bad turns to worse.’ Alexandra Kleeman‘Luke Brown’s Theft is acerbic but tender, biting but elegiac, a snapshot of early twenty-first century life in which the unceasing prospect of catastrophe is the new normal.’ Colin Barrett‘Theft is a witty, tender and insightful portrait of a city, and a life, at at time of crisis. It’s engrossing and charming and made me laugh many, many times.’ Nicole Flattery‘This Britain is both utterly recognisable and freshly revealed and the writing assured, funny and always humane.’ Catherine O'Flynn‘Astute and funny.’ Lucy Knight, Sunday Times.Luke Brown grew up in a former fishing town on the coast of Lancashire.
